Chaconne
A chaconne (; ; es, chacona, links=no; it, ciaccona, links=no, ; earlier English: ''chacony'') is a type of musical composition often used as a vehicle for variation on a repeated short harmonic progression, often involving a fairly short repetitive bass-line ( ground bass) which offers a compositional outline for variation, decoration, figuration and melodic invention. In this it closely resembles the passacaglia. It originates and was particularly popular in the Baroque era; a large number of Chaconnes exist from the 17th- and 18th- centuries. The ground bass, if there is one, may typically descend stepwise from the tonic to the dominant pitch of the scale; the harmonies given to the upper parts may emphasize the circle of fifths or a derivative pattern thereof. History Though it originally emerged during the late sixteenth century in Spanish culture, having reputedly been introduced from the New World, as a quick dance-song characterized by suggestive movements and ...

The choreography was first performed at the Hamburgische Staatsoper in their 1963 production of '' Orpheus und Eurydike'' and somewhat altered in ''Chaconne'', especially that for the principal dancers. Balanchine added the ''pas de deux'' for Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins to the 1976 ballet and the opening ensemble (to the 1774 '' Dance of the ...
